What is the standard unit?
The standard unit in hiveNet is based on the binary system and is equivalent to 1,048,576 bytes. Although this resembles a Mebibyte (MiB), we haven't labeled it "MiB" to maintain alignment with Windows and most other cloud storage providers' practices.
Why does hiveNet use this unit?
